We always get their tom kha soup and drunken noodles. The staff and atmosphere are always lovely. read more

I've ordered delivery from this place a couple of times. Both were delivered through DoorDash. The first time I ordered chicken pad thai, eggplant with tofu and extra veggies, and a side of peanut sauce. The second time I ordered pad se Ew with beef and chicken Pra-Ram. I ordered the Pra-Ram because I really enjoyed their peanut sauce. However, the sauce was more watery than I expected. The rice helps, but I was expecting a thicker sauce. The Pad Se Ew was saltier than I like. I definitely preferred my first order. The Eggplant tofu and Pad Thai were delicious which is why I ordered again. I strongly recommend these items. I am giving this 5 stars because the flavors are more of a personal preference issue. Otherwise, Everything was cooked well! I ate everything and enjoyed it. While I will likely not order the pad se ew and pram again, I will definitely continue to order from them and explore other menus items. read more

Food was OK. Overpowering smell of Lysol in the restaurant was not pleasant. Not good enough for return visit.

It's a very unassuming place when you drive up but once inside you're greeted by an amazing and loving atmosphere. I loved being there, the staff were very friendly, and attentive. It was a slow day so take that into consideration but regardless me and my gal felt at home. The food is very delicious, we ordered the Thai Basil and Pad Thai. The medium spice level is the way to go. They're also not shy about the portions for the Thai Iced Tea and the fried tofu was delectable. Please give this place a shot, We need more local businesses like this. read more

This is my regular go to for Thai food. It's outstanding. Best Thai that you can find in the south LA/Ling beach area. I'm 100% sure of this as I've tried ALOT of other Thai restaurants and this is the best. I always get takeout so I cannot speak to the dine in experience but I cannot imagine any issues when the food is this good. read more

Food was above average. I had the Pad Thai and Spicy Eggplant lunch specials. The service was nice. I ordered pickup and they provided all the lunch special items in their own containers. The mango sticky rice was delicious. There is private parking in front of the business. read more

The Basil - Dining area - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

The food was excellent. This was the first time I had been here since the pandemic and although there's a name change the food is still great. I got the food to go and we were out in about a minute. Try the yellow curry and Pad Thai. Great!! read more

Love this place! Food is great and the service is so fast! We go there for take out a lot, but when we eat in, I find the space usually calm and well spaced out. read more

Love the food and service here. I wish mango sticky rice was always in season but that is not in their control. Used to know it as Thai Basil. Usually we take out. I love the drunken noodles with the tender beef and just spicy enough to make me question my decisions. Have eaten in a few times and they have a very clean and aesthetically pleasing dining room. Seats could be more comfortable, but my mouth is happy when I eat there. read more

Always order via DoorDash after browsing randomly last year and finding this place, and have never been disappointed. Best Thai food in the area for sure! Food has always been hot + fresh; excellent quality and great portions for a relatively cheap price. Love the different veggies, spices, and herbs they use for the dishes here - authentic Thai flavors a lot of places skimp on. Highly recommend the Panang curry with beef! read more

Clean location with a simple, tasteful, mod esthetic. Service was beyond service, felt more like being family. Food was INCREDIBLE. We are big fans of Thai food, and The Basil 's flavors are top tier. Hands down best Thai we've had yet. Can't wait to return often. 10 out of 5 stars -- absolutely recommend. read more

Food is good, and their lunch specials provide great variety. Sometimes they don't have mango forbthe mango and sticky rice though.

I found this place on google and with the great reviews I placed my order. It was a nice place, I was greeted with a smile. When I arrived home I was excited to eat. I ordered combination rice (with shrimp), prick-king green beans (with shrimp) and wonton soup, you guessed it (with shrimp) . I really wish I took pictures.. the portions were small, smaller than most Thai take-outs Ive been to. Lastly, I got 6 shrimp in total 6 SHRIMPS) The food was tasty with minimal meat, I spent almost $60 for me and hubby and it was barely enough. I would have been ok if they filled the containers with green beans and rice and minimal meat. Again, it was tasty but I wont be back.. read more

I think Thai Basil has renamed to The Basil. Either way, the food was delicious and the service was great! Everything was clean and they accept card payment. We will be returning soon! read more

The Basil - Tom Kha (Coconut Soup) with chicken + Pad Thai with chicken + Fried Gyoza appetizer with sweet sauce - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

Excellent hospitality. Cozy, clean dining area and relaxing music. I ordered the chicken Glass Noodles and it was perfect. No need to add soy sauce or doctor it up. It was light but filling. I am making this my go to Thai spot. The best part is the prices are very reasonable in comparison to other places; worth it because this place is authentic. Highly recommend. I would check out their Lunch Menu as well. read more

Great Thai food for a good price! Very much a to go spot but delicious every time. I love the curry and the pad kee mao!

Been going here when it was called Thai basil. And I still love it. Very good. Wish they made noodle soups. Please consider it and put Thai boat on the menu read more

It's been a good minute since we ordered takeout and this place did not disappoint. Everything was hot and tasted fresh. I meant to finish this review right when I received the food but unfortunately didn't. We ordered takeout because we were sick but if there's one thing I remember is that their Thai tea was really good and their food was delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

The food was very bland, considering tha we ordered extra spicy. The Tom Yum soup we tasted had less flavor than others. The service was courteous fast and accurate. read more

We love Thai food and this find has become a weekly meal. After trying many of the dishes, I can highly recommend the hot basil with crispy pork, drunken noodles, and orange chicken. Tonight was our first dine-in experience since the Covid shutout. The portions were bigger and the service was the best. They offer free local delivery but normally faster (15 minutes) for pickup. Super friendly. Looking forward to next week. Should have taken pics of the food but before we thought about it it was in our bellies read more

Really good thai food, first time eating here but will be back. We ordered pad thai which was really good, the orange chicken was a hit with the kiddos, chinese broccoli with crispy pork also very good. I recommend this place for those looking for thai food in the area. Prices are reasonable and the hospitality was topnotch. Highly recommend! read more

It's tucked away in a strip mall and is very unassuming. But wow! The food was fantastic and the staff is super nice. I highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place! Me and my daugther come all the time. I get the spicey egg plant and orange chicken. I've been coming here for years! The service is awsome and they're friendly. I love the music that they play. I highly recommend this place for family or to come on a date. I love the upgrade that they made and the divider more private and seems less crowded read more

The Basil - Spicy Green Bean (Prik-King) Crab Rangoon Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

My new favorite Thai spot in LB! Perfect spice levels, excellent chicken and spot on curry.

Really love the basil. Great good! So flavorful. Very nice family owned place. The only downside is the service. They don't have many people working, I'm sure it's because of Covid, but other than that it's great. Never too many people dining in but when we're there we hear so many orders to go read more

If you're looking for a local casual Thai restaurant look no further. The staff is nice, the food is good and the portions are generous. This is not the place to go if you're looking for a fancy date night. Some of my go to dishes they serve are Pad Se Ew, Pad Thai, green papaya salad and their fried rice. The fried rice comes with a choice of meat or no meat. I was able to sub the meat for tofu. Also a great option if you're just looking for takeout. read more

The food and service is outstanding here. I always come here when I'm in the need of something quick and tasty.

Upon arriving there was 2 designated parking spot for handicap. The noise level at the restaurant was very quiet. There was no designated seating area for individuals that are handicap. The bathroom was the main negetive. First it was difficult opening the door since the spring look like it was broken and it was really heavy when trying opening the door. The light wasnt properly working and the portable handpaper wasnt working to the point where we have to manually rip out the paper. The overall quality of the food was just okay. Service can use improvement since we was the only customer thatt was in the establishment and it took about 35 min to receive our meals from the time we order. At first the wrong order came out but server was nice enough to comp the order. read more

This place is AWESOME!!! I've see it, but just never thought anything about it. I had an hour to kill and decided to give it a try. No regrets!! It quiet, clean, the people are nice and the food is great!! read more

Came here for some take out dinner through a delivery app. It was ready within 15 minutes on a light Monday afternoon. I ordered the Pad see ew, Pad Thai, and Green curry. I really liked the green curry the best. Great flavor with good amount of meat and veggies. The rice was included unlike other places where they might charge extra. The noodles were good as well with your traditional Thai flavors. The pad see ew came with regular broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli which i prefer. Pad Thai did not have a lime wedge here. Pricing was about average to above average compared to other Thai places i go. Each dish on the app was $10. Overall, it was a good meal and enjoyed the quick service. read more

Fav local Thai spot yummmm I've had The Basil three times in one week before They know me by name now read more

Orders always come incorrectly and the they yell at you for correcting them... At that point no one knows their name..... when you ask WHAT IS YOUR NAME ?? They literally say NOTHING... At that point you ask so YOUR NAME IS NOTHING...they then smile and say yes... Food is decent when you get what you ordered it's just not likely to happen..... NEVER AGAIN.... Sad because it's next door.....oh well, lots of other places around read more

What a find!!! I've lived in this area for years and never knew this place was here. I received a menu left at my front door and decided to give it a try. I got the lunch special Chicken Pad Thai. If you're looking for authentic, delicious, and filling food, I highly recommend ordering from The Basil and supporting our local businesses. There was so much yummy food and the price was very reasonable for what I got that I was able to tip well since they are currently like so many, not able to have any indoor dining. I will definitely be back and look forward to dining in and enjoying a meal with friends. I would have posted a photo but ate before posting the review. read more

As soon as me and my girlfriend walked in we were greeted and sat promptly ! We ordered the pad see ew with chicken and it easily took over my #1 spot as my favorite !!! My girlfriend ordered a side of peanut sauce and it was perfect! read more

The Basil - Pad Se Ew - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

If you're looking for a saucy and tasty pad Thai, this is the place. I've tried several places in Cerritos and Artesia but this is my far my favorite pad Thai. Everywhere else I've been serves a drier type of pad Thai with not much sauce. We ordered take out but the service was extremely fast. We'll definitely come back and try more read more

Really nice service. Ordered catering. They were easy to work with and delivered. Fresh food.

Met my GF for lunch and everything was delicious as Always!!!!! My allergies/sinuses have been kicking my butt and TOM YUM soup always helps me feel better, don't even have to have meat , the broth ,veggies and spices are soooooo flavorful and cooked perfectly!!' Yellow curry is divine and I got extra potatoes, Shrimp rolls, chicken satay, YUM!!!!!! I have tried many different Thai restaurants in different cities, states and besides this one only one that's on same level is in Manhattan NY!!! They use white breast meat in all recipes, Top quality beef, pork and shrimp and authentic Thai spices!!!!! It's worth the drive from Buena Park!!!!!!! Thank you to the chefs/staffs!!!!!!!!! read more

Our go-to Thai food place for YEARS! It was Thai Basil before. It's so good my kids are asking for Thai for weekly! The food is deliciously consistent and the portions generous. We've always done take out from them so we're happy to continue to support them during covid (and not have to cook a meal or two). The pricing is reasonable and the food is quick to pick up. Our favorite picks include the Pad See Ew, Pai Thai, Panang Curry, Spicy Beef Salad, BBQ pork fried rice, Combo Fried Rice. The noodles and like many of their other dishes you can choose chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, tofu, and even any combination of the proteins. Just know you get one protein and there's a surcharge for extra. But it's worth it when you have a craving. We've typically gone with chicken or beef, and would occasionally add tofu. The cubed tofu are always nicely browned, lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The kids enjoy it too! The portions are always big enough that we have food leftover for either lunch or part of dinner the next day. My only complaint is that the combo fried rice has so little shrimp...they do state 2pc of shrimp on their menu, so at least they're setting expectations early. Thinking of their food makes me want to place an order now. Drool! read more
